Once your request for a workshop is approved by ITC:

The Anishnaabek Healing Circle has added digital storytelling to the recovery support service array for ATR clients. This is a pilot service code that requires pre-approval from the ATR Director to use. Because this is a new code, and because digital stories are expensive and time-consuming to produce, we ask that you, as the tribal workshop liaison, work closely with the nDigiDream Team of story-telling mentors prior to talking to ATR clients about making a digital story. We want to protect the client, first and foremost. And we want to ensure that both the client, and the tribal site, is fully prepared for the workshop to be a positive, healing experience. The mentors have valuable insights to help you to recruit and prepare people to participate in the workshop. The mentors also know how you can best prepare to host the workshop.

Process:

* Request & receive approval for a Digital Story-Telling Workshop from ITC/ATR

* Contact nDigiDreams and complete a Qualified Service Agreement (form attached)

* Identify workshop participants and enroll them in ATR IV

* Obtain Informed Consent for Workshop 7051 from each participant (form attached)

Making a Digital Story

For the Tribal Workshop Liaison

The following are things you need to know to prepare yourself and your ATR clients for a Digital Story-Telling Workshop. You will be working with the nDigiDream Team to recruit and prepare people for the workshop.

The Digital Story-Telling Workshop takes four full days. Participants must come prepared to spend four days to complete their story from start to finish. The workshop is a supportive group process. Each participant will leave the workshop with a DVD of their personal digital story.

Details of what to bring and what to expect are in the handouts: “An Invitation to a Digital Story-Telling Workshop” and “Making a Digital Story.” These handouts should be given to the participant as soon as they have accepted the invitation to make a digital story.

Expectation for the Tribal Site to host a Digital Story-Telling Workshop:

___ Place: a space large enough for up to 10 people and 4 mentors to work for 4 days/ 8-5 pm

___ Room set-up: tables and chairs for computers, space for a story-circle. A separate, quiet space for voice recording on day two.

___ Technology: High speed internet access, adequate electrical outlets for multiple electronics (nDigiDreams supplies computers, extension cords, etc.)

___ Time: Four full days (8:00 am – 5:00 pm). If there is time/space to work into the evening, this is very helpful, but optional

___ Optional but very helpful: providing coffee, tea, water, snacks throughout the day, and lunch if possible. Participants become very focused and involved as the story-telling process unfolds, and it’s very difficult to leave the site for meals, etc.

____ Work on a case by case basis with the participant’s employer and others to advocate for the necessary supports etc, so the client can participate for 4 days to make their story (i.e. staff release time from work etc).
